Fantastic time sitting down for this interview with “Sakura Haruno Girl”. With a fandom of almost 1,300 and rising, she’s cosplayed dozens characters like “Faye-Cowboy Bebop” ,”Yoko-Gurren Lagann”, and one of our personal favorites “Motoko Kusanagi- Ghost in the Shell”. . Her passion for cosplay started since she was only four years old, first starting off with Disney characters and then later into Anime once she was older. To us at Shining Otaku, it sounds like the most natural shift in considering the influence Disney’s animation has had on Japanese animation had in it’s early beginnings to creators like “Osamu Tezuka -The Father of Anime and Manga”.

As our first cosplay guest on Shining Spotlight, she enlightened us about what makes cosplay a fun thing to do no matter who you are. “Everyone should do it at least once” said “Sakura Haruno Girl”. And who are we to disagree with that.

They’ve come to the rescue! Mostly known for the web manga series “Densetsu no Mangaka”, they are a group of multi-talented individuals who focus on creating manga, animating, and even have a presence in the cosplay scene.
